That should be something special!Be sure to stop by Todd's this fall to view his calves!

We lost an old friend today! My cousins dog Henry had to be put down today. He was 14. We grew up with Henry! He was quite the dog! He was the unofficial mascot of the Tazewell County Country Club! If you ever played golf there you might have had your golf ball snatched by Henry on the fairways or had him ride with ya on the cart for a few holes! We'll miss him!

I enjoyed my stop at the Blind Badger Ranch! Ranch Manager Brian Fox, Justin Trupp, and Owner Jim Hett showed me around the large operation! Blind Badger Ranch is home to several incredible Maine and Maine influenced females! They have a spectacular calf crop! I was extremely impressed!

There is some stout prospects out of her best donors! I appreciate her invitation to come out and look! Also thanks to John Ramsey for showing me around the ranch! Thanks again for your semen purchase!I Da ManNo Worries

I had a chance to stop by Dr. Dave Duello's place in Pine Bluffs, Wyoming! I have to say this could possibly be one of the most impressive large group of club calf oriented females I've ever seen at one stop! With over 500 head of brood cows, first calf heifers and the yearling heifers, everywhere I looked there were great ones! It was overwhelming to see so many cows that were of that caliber! I appreciate Dave taking the time to show me around his operation! It was very enjoyable to discuss pedigrees and the foundation genetics of his cow herd!

If you're ever in the Pine Bluffs area I'd highly recommend stopping in to see this cow herd! It will be worth your time! As always look for Dave's famous Western Elite Female sale from the Yards in Denver in January 2014!

I had a great stop at Dudley Booth's ranch in Torrington, Wyoming! Dudley is the breeder of the popular A.I. sire Ringer! He had more progeny out of that Kadabra donor that looked the part! In particular there was one Monopoly heifer calf that was a standout along with a Heatwave out of Ringer's mother! Be sure to stop by Dudley's in the fall and view his calf crop when they are for sale!

I had a great stop at M Lazy Heart Ranch in Torrington, Wyoming. I appreciate Paul and Christine Miller and their herdsman Brad Linton showing me around the ranch! They've shown several major champion show heifers and I enjoyed seeing them in their working clothes with calves. They had a great set of calves. Many of these calves will be featured on their spring sale in June!

Thanks again to M Lazy Heart and Linton Show Cattle for their 90 unit semen order!
